Note: This video was cut down a lot more and is in a different style then normal, due to me still recovering from being sick so I was still coughing a lot and was quite out of it today for some reason.

Today me and @I@ImZeraorao and showcase the NEW Retro Rewind update that is coming out soon! This version contains the brand new gamemode, Knockout Royale, based on the previous Battle Royale mode also made by Zera and his team!

If you are an older twd98 fan, you will likely remember the battle royale video he posted all the way back in 2018! This is an expansion of that game mode developed natively into pulsar for Retro Rewind. It is very different, having features such as balloons to represent life counts, item loot dropping when a player is hit, etc.

It is also very heavily based on the lap KO implementation by me and patchzy, including the elimination display, spectating logic, etc.

Later down the line we plan to expand more on the game mode with more toggled, options, and more! For now we wanted to get the core game mode implemented, which is what we did here!

This was played during an online testing session hosted on my twitch channel so be sure to follow that in order to experience me do testing, playing, and other types of Retro Rewind stuff live!
